The Great War: Communication

In this episode of the series “The Great War Explained to Children”, Mélanie Morin-Pelletier, from the Canadian War Museum, explains how communication occurred between families and soldiers on the front lines, overseas, on the Old Continent.
Without the Internet or phones, all they had was mail. Despite the slowness of that method for communication, it was essential for soldiers’ morale and to help families stay in touch with their loved ones.
Overall, the Canadian postal system carried over two million letters during the first World War.
